Trust Us, These 9th Anniversary Gifts Will Sweep Your S.O. Off Their Feet (2024)

Nine! Freaking! Years! Can we just take a sec to celebrate that?! You and your spouse are 365(ish) days away from 10 years of marriage together and that’s a BFD. And as their favorite person, you obvi haven’t made it this far without knowing how to purchase a gift or two. But if you’re hoping to go even bigger/better/more tear-inducing than last year’s anniversary gift, I’ve come up with some sentimental, on-theme gift ideas that are sure to be a hit.

As you probably know by now, every anniversary year has specific themes. It’s traditional to give pottery and willow for your ninth anniversary—pottery represents something that's been transformed over time into a beautiful masterpiece (all together now: awww), and willow represents strength and flexibility (the two things you need to make a partnership work!). But if you’re like, “Pottery and willow sound kinda unsexy,” you can also choose the modern theme of leather, which represents durability, warmth, and something that gets better with time (one more time: awww).

It’s not quite silk (12 years), crystal (15 years), or diamonds (30 years!!!) but there are actually tons of aesthetic gifts that your love of nine years is sure to adore, and I've rounded up some of the best ideas below. From leather accessories to gorgeous ceramic creations to some v loose interpretations of "willow," here are all the best ways to say, "Hey, thanks for putting up with me for nine years." Happy anniversary, love birds!!
